By contrast, the GNU General Public 0062 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 0063 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 0064 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 0065 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 0066 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 0067 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 0068 your programs, too. 0069 0070 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 0071 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 0072 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 0073 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 0074 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 0075 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 0076 0077 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 0078 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 0079 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 0080 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 0081 0082 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 0083 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 0084 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 0085 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 0086 rights. 0087 0088 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 0089 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 0090 distribute and/or modify the software. 0091 0092 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 0093 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 0094 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 0095 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 0096 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 0097 authors' reputations. 0098 0099 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 0100 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 0101 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 0102 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 0103 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 0104 0105 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 0106 modification follow. 0107 0108 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 0109 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0110 0111 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 0112 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 0113 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 0114 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 0115 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 0116 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 0117 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 0118 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 0119 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 0120 0121 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 0122 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 0123 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 0124 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 0125 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 0126 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 0127 0128 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 0129 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 0130 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 0131 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 0132 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 0133 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 0134 along with the Program. 0135 0136 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 0137 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 0138 0139 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 0140 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 0141 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 0142 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 0143 0144 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 0145 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 0146 0147 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 0148 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 0149 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 0150 parties under the terms of this License. 0151 0152 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 0153 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 0154 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 0155 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 0156 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 0157 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 0158 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 0159 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 0160 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 0161 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 0162 0163 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 0164 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 0165 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 0166 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 0167 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 0168 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 0169 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 0170 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 0171 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 0172 0173 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 0174 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 0175 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 0176 collective works based on the Program. 0177 0178 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 0179 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 0180 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 0181 the scope of this License. 0182 0183 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 0184 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 0185 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 0186 0187 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 0188 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 0189 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 0190 0191 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 0192 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 0193 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 0194 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 0195 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 0196 customarily used for software interchange; or, 0197 0198 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 0199 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 0200 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 0201 received the program in object code or executable form with such 0202 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 0203 0204 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 0205 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 0206 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 0207 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 0208 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 0209 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 0210 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 0211 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 0212 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 0213 itself accompanies the executable. 0214 0215 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 0216 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 0217 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 0218 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 0219 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 0220 0221 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 0222 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 0223 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 0224 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 0225 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 0226 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 0227 parties remain in full compliance. 0228 0229 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 0230 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 0231 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 0232 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 0233 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 0234 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 0235 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 0236 the Program or works based on it. 0237 0238 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 0239 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 0240 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 0241 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 0242 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 0243 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 0244 this License. 0245 0246 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 0247 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 0248 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 0249 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 0250 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 0251 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 0252 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 0253 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 0254 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 0255 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 0256 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 0257 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 0258 0259 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 0260 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 0261 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 0262 circumstances. 0263 0264 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 0265 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 0266 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 0267 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 0268 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 0269 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 0270 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 0271 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 0272 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 0273 impose that choice. 0274 0275 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 0276 be a consequence of the rest of this License. 0277 0278 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 0279 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 0280 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 0281 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 0282 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 0283 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 0284 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 0285 0286 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 0287 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 0288 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 0289 address new problems or concerns. 0290 0291 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 0292 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 0293 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 0294 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 0295 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 0296 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 0297 Foundation. 0298 0299 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 0300 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 0301 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 0302 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 0303 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 0304 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 0305 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 0306 0307 NO WARRANTY 0308 0309 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 0310 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 0311 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 0312 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 0313 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 0314 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 0315 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 0316 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 0317 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 0318 0319 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 0320 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 0321 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 0322 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 0323 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 0324 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 0325 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 0326 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 0327 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 0328 0329 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 0330 0331 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 0332 0333 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 0334 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it 0335 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 0336 0337 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest 0338 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively 0339 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 0340 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 0341 0342 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 0343 Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> 0344 0345 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 0346 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 0347 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 0348 (at your option) any later version. 0349 0350 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 0351 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 0352 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 0353 GNU General Public License for more details. 0354 0355 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 0356 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 0357 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA 0358 0359 0360 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 0361 0362 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 0363 when it starts in an interactive mode: 0364 0365 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author 0366 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 0367 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 0368 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 0369 0370 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate 0371 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may 0372 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be 0373 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. 0374 0375 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 0376 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 0377 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: 0378 0379 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 0380 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. 0381 0382 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 0383 Ty Coon, President of Vice 0384 0385 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into 0386 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may 0387 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the 0388 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General 0389 Public License instead of this License. 0390 </PRE> 0391 </BODY> 0392 </HTML>
